Investigating the effect of clonogen resensitization on the tumor response to fractionated external radiotherapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this work we further develop the modeling of tumor dynamics by proposing a mechanism of tumor resensitization that is based on the process of reoxygenation. Reoxygenation is modeled using the concept of nonstationary diffusion of oxygen. This leads to the derivation of an explicit expression for the radiosensitivity parameter that predicts a radiosensitivity that increases with time. To account for the resensitization mechanism, the time-dependent expression for the radiosensitivity is then incorporated within a tumor control probability (TCP) model that already includes tumor cell repopulation and repair. We fit a set of experimental animal TCP curves corresponding to several different fractionation regimes using both the modified (with resensitization) and unmodified (without resensitization) versions of the TCP model. In comparison to the unmodified model, the modified model produces statistically superior fits, and is able to describe an "inverse" dose-fractionation behavior present in the data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
